Show Notes

Terry Heller has a quite different path to real estate. Here’s the story we commonly hear: The guest works on a regular day job, decides to invest in real estate, and starts passively. Starters usually choose single-family first until they realize they need to jump to multifamily. That’s the usual story, but that’s not Terry’s. Terry breaks into real estate from the entertainment industry, leaving a space where he’s worked with the likes of Jay-Z, Celine Dion, Dr. Dre, and Linkin Park. 

Today, he joins us to talk about his story, how writing a letter to a pastor pulled him to real estate, and shares some mindset tips you need to hear if you’re still thinking about your investment plans. Here’s one tip from him: “The person that’s gonna create the opportunity is you!”
